Description Don't be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality.
If you can dream it, you can make it so.
--Belva Davis

Sometimes dreams alter the course of an entire life.
--Judith Duerk

I love the idea of the space between your dreams and reality. I believe I might have gotten stuck there on many occasions!

I like the quotes you included with this one. The use of space and movement is really effective. I love looking abstracts and "finding" things in them...in this, I see skulls, fish, wings, machinery, and a cave.

Yes, I saw the fish after I finished it! In most of my abstracts things just "show up"...it's like I go in a zone and don't even see them til I am done...LOL...so I find things that I didn't even seem to put in!

Exact same for me. I can't do [good] art unless I'm zoned out. Then when I'm done, things start appearing, which is usually pretty cool.

Sometimes I zone with strong emotion running behind or in front of the time I paint...those two elements really always combine nicely...and it is great for the head as well

M.C. Escher's tesselations come to mind with this picture. Stunning!

I saw several faces, morphed to being barely distinguishable... But, there is a skull in the image as well.

Perhaps it is death himself in an autumnal twilight cloak! To hide those of whom are in his quota.

So...beautiful red autumn leaves loosed from their branches by shifting zephyrs, silently sifting through the air, grounding themselves, to return, budding anew. Our dreams.

I like the color palette and the tension(?) of the vertical line. And the idea.

You paint wonderful images...the best kind actually, the ones that make you look inside yourself and see something.

That my friend is the best compliment I could receive....to see something of yourself in another's work creates a connection and makes the world a warmer, better place...I thank you for your wonderful thoughts! (Your muse back yet?)
